Captions on Analog Channels
The TV can decode captions from ANT l/ANT 2 and
iNPUT l/INPUT 2. Broadcasters can send either stan-
dard closed captions or text service. Standard closed
captions follow the dialogue of the program and display
in a small section of the screen. Text-service closed
captions often contain information such as weather
or news and cover a large portion of the screen. Text-
service captions are often blank (not used).
Captions on Digital Channels
The TV can decode captions from ANT l/ANT 2 only.
Broadcasters can send up to six different captioning
selections or can send analog captions that match those
sent by the analog station. A TV station may broadcast
only one or two types of captions or none at all.

Guidelines for setting digital captions:
Use contrasting colors for captions and
background.
Check readability of captions using the
sample text in the upper right corner of
the menu.
A white font on a black translucent
background makes an easy=to=read
combination.
